Chapter 486: Chu Lan Blocks Wei Ruo_1
“I’m willing to take the risk.” Xiu Fengyuan repeated, “Sir, I appreciate your concern for my health, but even if there’s only a one in a ten thousand chance, I still want to take a bet.”
“Ignorant!” Xing Jiang retorted.
Seeing this, Madam Lu spoke up: “Master Xing, since Mr. Xiu has already made his decision, let’s respect it.”
As Madam Lu spoke, Xing Jiang had to hold back his fury.
“Madam,” he said, “I’ve made my stance clear, if this gentleman encounters any incidents, even if you were to plead with , I won’t lend a hand.”
Madam Lu glanced at Xiu Fengyuan on the bed and seeing his resolute expression, she nodded at Xing Jiang: “I understand.”
Xing Jiang snorted and withdrew with the other imperial physicians.
Madam Lu turned to Wei Ruo: “Doctor Xu, I request you to do your best. Regardless of whether you can restore Mr. Xiu’s arm, please ensure his life is not endangered.”
“Madam, rest assured, I will certainly ensure Mr. Xiu’s life is not in danger,” Wei Ruo promised confidently.
She hadn’t assured the recovery of Xiu Fengyuan’s arm because of limited conditions. If conditions were fulfilled, she was almost a hundred percent sure.
But to ensure no peril to Xiu Fengyuan’s life was a certainty for Wei Ruo.
Madam Lu said: “You were sent by Queen Rui; I trust Queen Rui, so I trust you too.”
“Thank you for your trust, Madam.”
“You don’t need to thank , like you, I also hope Mr. Xiu’s hand recovers. My grandson said, Mr. Xiu is both scholarly and martial, losing his right hand might be more painful than losing his life,” Madam Lu said.
“I will do my utmost,” Wei Ruo replied.
After giving a few more instructions, Madam Lu left the room.
After Madam Lu had left, Wei Yichen ca in.
“I’m staying back to care for brother Xiu,” stated Wei Yichen.
Wei Ruo ordered: “I’ve prepared a prescription. This dicine should be taken every six hours. I’ll change his external dicine tomorrow morning. Don’t interrupt internal dication until then. If he develops a fever at night, give him the second prescription I have prescribed, and imdiately send soone to the King Rui Residence to fetch .”
“I will rember. Thank you, Doctor Xu,” answered Wei Yichen.
Then Wei Ruo turned to Xiu Fengyuan: “Mr. Xiu, in addition to what I can do for you, your own mindset is also extrely important. Please believe that there’s a chance for your arm to recover and keep a positive state of mind, don’t indulge in self-pity.”
Xiu Fengyuan replied: “I understand, thank you, Doctor Xu. Please tell Queen Rui thank you on my behalf as well. She’s gone through a lot of trouble for .”
“Alright,” said Wei Ruo.
After imparting her instructions to Xiu Fengyuan, Wei Ruo went over to the neighboring room to check on Lu Yuhong.
Earlier, Wei Ruo had already taken Lu Yuhong’s pulse to check his injuries and knew they weren’t severe. He would recover with regular treatnt.
However, to be sure, Wei Ruo planned to go and check again in case the imperial physicians had done sothing inappropriate.
In Lu Yuhong’s room, the elderly Master Lu was keeping vigil at the bedside.
The elderly man seed sowhat helpless and lost.
Wei Ruo paid her respects to Master Lu, stating her identity and purpose.
Master Lu slowly nodded, then let Wei Ruo check Lu Yuhong’s pulse.
After checking his pulse, Wei Ruo even sniffed the empty bowl that previously contained dicine.
There was nothing serious about this prescription, although it was rather conservative, therefore Lu Yuhong’s recovery would be slow. It wasn’t the best solution but had the advantage of reducing pain intensity.
Wei Ruo could guess why the Imperial Institute of dicine had prescribed this dicine. She didn’t say much on the subject but rather stated that Lu Yuhong’s condition was good and he just needs to take his dicines and rest for recovery.
Having done all she could do for the night, Wei Ruo was ready to leave the Lu Residence.
Wei Ruo, Wei Jinyi, and Xiui erged from the Lu Residence, their carriage parked near the southeast gate.
Just as Wei Ruo was about to climb into the carriage, a figure suddenly approached.
It was late at night, and the moon was high in the sky, casting a weak light.
The lantern carried by the attendant revealed the figure’s face.
Wei Ruo took a careful look and saw a person she least wanted to see – Chu Lan.
“Mr. Xu, we et again.” Chu Lan was dressed just as he had been during the day, but the sharpness in the eyes looking at Wei Ruo had intensified.
“I respect you, Prince,” Wei Ruo bowed to Chu Lan.
“As Queen Rui, you need not show such respect,” Chu Lan cut her off.
“I don’t understand Prince, what do you an?” Wei Ruo replied.
“How long are you going to keep this charade?” Chu Lan inquired, his gaze fixed on Wei Ruo, as if he wanted to see through her.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Prince. How could I, a man, be Queen Rui?” Wei Ruo replied.
“You bear a striking resemblance to Queen Rui,” Chu Lan stated.
“Prince, it’s not uncommon for people to look similar. I’m a bit short for a man, but that doesn’t an you can suspect of being a woman.”
“If you listen closer, your voice is sowhat similar to Queen Rui’s,” Chu Lan added.
“I’m still young, my voice is soft, it may sound like a woman’s. It’s possible that you find it similar to a woman’s, and Queen Rui’s similarity is just a coincidence. Her voice among won is not particularly unique,” Wei Ruo explained.
“The person with you, he’s Wang Jin, the protector of Wei Qingruo. I’ve had interactions with him,” Chu Lan continued.
“Prince, I’m currently employed at the King Rui residence, so why shouldn’t the protectors accompany us?” she retorted.
“Today’s lifesaving actions, Queen Rui’s dical skills are not inferior, much like yours,” Chu Lan continued.
“Prince, you’re too amusing. There are many in the world with dical skills. Queen Rui once lived in the countryside and was taught so dical skills by an elder,” Wei Ruo said playfully.
Wei Ruo refuted each doubt raised by Chu Lan.
“I’ve heard of a trick in the folk world that can change a person’s face. Would you allow to touch your face and verify the truth?” Chu Lan asked.
“I’ve never heard of such a thod before. I beg you not to make things difficult for ,” Wei Ruo responded.
“If you want to stop, then prove it to . Are you afraid, or are you guilty?” Chu Lan inquired.
The more Wei Ruo hesitated, the more convinced Chu Lan beca about the relationship between Xu Heyou and Wei Ruo.
His eyes were like those of a hawk, capable of locking onto his prey even in the darkness of night.
With his determination, it seed that he wouldn’t let go unless Wei Ruo agreed today.
Just then, a pair of slender, jade hands drew the curtain of the carriage open, and a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes popped her head out.
